Review: Great recipe and tea tradition book - My daughters and I decided to start having small tea parties and this was the perfect addition to that. We have made about a dozen recipes from this and have been happy with all of them. Some recipes take specialty ingredients such as smoked salmon, creme fraiche, mascarpone, and raspberry powder. But that said most take things easily found in your local market. We haven't encountered any recipes that take special techniques but we are adept cooks. Review: Beautiful book 🤩 - Great book with wonderful presentation. I returned it because I was searching for the right cookbook for a gift and this one didn’t meet my expectations. However I would have gladly kept it for myself.

Afternoon Tea for Americans
Went to England recently and learned to appreciate and understand the concept of afternoon tea. The importance of the cakes and biscuits (we call cookies) as part of the ritual. The overall understanding of taking a special time each afternoon to just stop, have a cup of tea or coffee and a sweet or savory bite. Breaks the day, lucky to have someone to talk to during those moments of relaxation. So, this is a fantastic book on baking special things to give as gifts for just stopping by or any occasion. Unique, beautiful and all look fantastic. I'm starting to put a date on each one, so I remember when I tried it. Very excited to find this book!

Content
Very classy sturdy book. Short list or summary of what to expect. 1) Brief history of tea. 2) Mention of few Famous brands/makers. 3) Basic kinds (black, white, green, oolong, Darjeeling, herbal, & fruit) and a little info on how or where they are grown. 4) Proper tea serving & etiquette. 5) Baking tips & equipment needed. 6) Few drinks other than tea. 7) Finger sandwiches & other savory foods. P.S. I'm not big on fish (salmon, mackerel, anchovy, caviar, crab) so I'm very pleased there aren't many(7) recipes that require. 8) The Sweets (cakes, bars, brownies, tarts, cheesecakes, muffins, cupcakes . . . etc.) All in all, I LOVE IT!

Lovely Book
I got this for my friend who was having a charity cream tea. She loved the book and was able to make some of the recipes in time for her cream tea.
